Today, The Sun has shared that the Duchess of Cambridge has given her first public statement regarding her sister-in-law since the rumours started and many are taking it as a means of shutting down talk of bad blood.

The paper has shared that during an appearance outside Leicester University, Middleton was asked if she is excited for “Meghan and her new baby?" to which she replied:

"Yes, absolutely.

“It’s such a special time to have all the kiddies… and a cousin for George and Charlotte as well, and Louis. So it will be really special.”
